I have a secret. Actually, it is an old one. It has to be. You see I've been doing it for ages, even in public... I do it on the grass, in my workshop, in front of my family, in front of strangers. And all anyone says is - wow. That's good. Or - I… Continue reading Why I draw…

Transformation
I turned up yesterday with two large plastic boxes. Both are ordinary... Both have black lids. I went back to the car and picked up a striped fabric bag about 3 ft by 3ft. I walked into the blank space and yelled hello to everyone. I got shouts and waves back. People started to arrive… Continue reading Transformation
Patreon
I had a choice - get a paypal button for the blog so people can 'donate' or a Patreon page. I decided to go with Patreon... It feels better. I offer rewards for what people pledge. Some will get physical artwork and some digital art. Have a look... Money is something I hate to think… Continue reading Patreon
Unfinished
I have a couple of projects on the go but one of them needs to be complete before mid October. And it is going slowly. It started when I was sorting a piece of artwork for a project... You must remember? It was this piece... It was the first time I had folded Bristol board… Continue reading Unfinished
Today’s doodle
The prompt was 'Password cracker' and that got me thinking of Egyptian Hieroglyphs. The fact that people would sand for ages and study the markings on huge stone slabs and pillars but have no idea what they meant. So I decided to draw on of those who must have spent hours in the heat trying… Continue reading Today’s doodle
A doodle
In truth I forget which day I did it. I have been putting the workshop in order and getting rid of the fabric store. At the moment I am sat in the middle of a mess. I have cottons one one side and a working computer on the other. Life is interesting and I am… Continue reading A doodle
Today’s doodle
I haven't been feeling great and it turns out I have a nasty eye infection. Today I saw the eye-doctor and he has said it will all get better. And I was cleared for using my eyes, even though the left isn't focusing properly. So today's doodle is okay but not my best. The prompt… Continue reading Today’s doodle
Digital art
I have been playing with my Wacom pad... To learn i decided to go with doing the daily spitpaint every day, or when I could. It's a Facebook group that is the same as a writing group. They prompt you and you create a drawing. It doesn't have to be digital drawing but that is… Continue reading Digital art
Another cover…
This will be the last for a while. Although there are about 14 illustrations to go with it, so I'm going to be working on it for the next week or so, if not longer... This book is called 'Fey' and is about a young boy called Dai. It's set in Wales, not too far… Continue reading Another cover…
Disaster!
I didn't go into the workshop yesterday. Instead, I watched the rain come down and I baked, decorated my room and moved furniture. I didn't think about the workshop... It is always fine. But I had underestimated the amount of rain. The amount of damp. If I'd looked in the mirror I may have had… Continue reading Disaster!
